Compare Porsche power steering repair quotes from specialist garages

Porsche is known for its high-performance luxury sports vehicles - the best-selling model being the Cayenne. The company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, created the world's first hybrid vehicle in 1899. It was called the Lohner-Porsche and was driven by electricity with a fuel-powered generator to charge the batteries, though it never made it into production.

Porsche continues to break new ground to this day; in 2017, the Cayenne S Diesel model earned the Guinness World Record for towing the heaviest vehicle, pulling an enormous Airbus A380 aeroplane weighing 285 tonnes.

Power steering is designed to reduce the effort required by the driver to turn the steering wheel. Without this system, the steering in your car would be extremely heavy, making it challenging to do low-speed manoeuvres.

Common problems requiring a power steering repair include low or leaking power steering fluid, loose or broken belts, worn hoses and a damaged pump. You should contact a power steering specialist if you notice any of the following symptoms:

• Stiff steering
• A squealing or whining noise
• Vibrations felt through the steering wheel
• Low or discoloured power steering fluid
